Compassionate Support for Parents in the Wake of Diagnosis
Compassionate Support for Parents in the Wake of Diagnosis
Hello, I'm Jennifer Jeffers, your beacon of hope and support during one of life’s most challenging transitions: the early stages following your child’s diagnosis with a chronic illness. If you’ve found yourself here, it’s because your heart is seeking a gentle hand to hold, a kindred spirit who understands the profound depths of love, worry, and the quest for strength in the face of uncertainty.
My life’s work, deeply rooted in over two decades of professional experience, has been profoundly shaped by my own personal journey as a parent to a special needs child facing Epilepsy, Inflammatory Bowel Disease, autism, and intellectual disabilities. I’ve lived through the initial shock, the overwhelming sea of information, and the relentless wave of emotions that you’re likely navigating right now.
The period following your child’s diagnosis can feel isolating and daunting, a path littered with more questions than answers. My aim is to stand with you during these critical few months, offering a sanctuary of understanding and empathy. It’s a time when kindness, not just knowledge, can light the way forward. Together, we’ll navigate this terrain, finding solace in shared experiences and strength in our mutual resilience.
In 2017, amid my own personal and professional transformations, I discovered the power of connection and the importance of a space where one’s fears and hopes can be expressed freely, without judgment. I sought to create what I needed during my darkest times: a guiding light for parents in the tumultuous initial period after diagnosis, where every emotion is magnified, and every decision feels monumental.
As your Transitional Coach, my approach is heart-centered, enveloping you in the warmth and understanding that can only come from someone who has truly been there. Together, we’ll explore the full spectrum of your emotions, channeling them into a force for positive action and peace.
You’re not alone on this journey. Let me share with you the insights and gentle guidance that helped me pave a path of resilience, hope, and love.
This is more than coaching; it’s a shared journey of transformation during the most critical phase of adjustment after your child’s diagnosis. Let’s embrace this journey together, with open hearts, finding our way through the darkness with compassion, understanding, and the unwavering belief in the power of our collective strength.
